Don't bother starting over winter, as tempting as it is. Unless you bring it up to full running temp, hot enough to burn any moisture.

First i thought of buying a Ctec and have it plugged in all winter, but when i spoke with the previous owner he reminded me that be bought a lithium and that you cant hook thoose up..
So.. if I start it up i should preferebly ride it hot? But if I let it idle until the fan starts? (105 C) Perhaps it needs more time to charge?
Here in southern sweden we mostly have between 14-50F? (-10 to +10C) so im hoping to take it for a spin once in a while if its dry. Or perhaps I wont, the problem here in the south is that they throw out HUGE amount of salt on the roads, so even if the roads seems dry u bet youre gonna have salt on your bike.. :-/ And i dont wanna wash it and put it in my cold garage..

Put in fresh oil, top off tank, disconnect ground terminal from battery. Done.

Yes, even better, remove battery and bring inside to eliminate the temp cycle and cold of winter.
Unless you bike lives with you inside! Like mine do!
